Company that cares for its cogs
Company that cares for its cogs
The office in Bedfont Lakes is beautiful, with sleeping pods (which no one uses), a cafeteria, and a subsidized Starbucks coffee.
Everyone I've met was friendly.
The company cares about its employees.
They championed work from home before COVID.
You feel like a small cog in a machine.
Progression in my team was purely based on how much the boss likes you.
Same with projects; some projects run for years in isolation, costing millions, just because the main people working on it are good friends with the boss.
It's hard to give advice for a company that's 70,000 people, but systemic issues such as objective-based career progression and more 1-on-1 meetings between managers and staff would help.
The company needs to have confidential manager review surveys to gauge how each manager is doing.

It was a pretty good interview. I enjoyed the questions. The interviewers were very interesting, and the questions were quite challenging, but I solved almost all of them. Finally, I managed to get to the next step of the interview process.

Initial telephonic round. Three technical rounds. One round involved writing code and solving a couple of puzzles. One managerial round. A couple of puzzles were also presented here to check my thought process. Waiting for HR discussion. All pane
